Best OEM Radiator replacement ?

Hi, semi-long time reader, first time poster. I own a 2006 G35 coupe manual transmission. Today coming from work, I noticed the smell of coolant coming from the engine bay. Opened the hood and coolant dried 'spots' are all over the front of the engine. After inspection of where it could be leaking, found the leak to be on the top plastic tank of the radiator, small crack about 1/4 inch long WTF? But no overheating....?

Anyways, instead of instigating over problem(getting the hell pissed about it), I would like to know where I can get a replacement OEM radiator. I searched the forums for upgrade rads but too pricey for this car and I rarely floor it to cause any intended heating. Also checked ebay and found some for reasonable price but just want to know if those ebay are any good or are they completely knock off? Any one tried them? IDK, I guess I just dont want to spend what dealer and infinitipartsonline.com sell them for, which in MHO is a rip! For that price might as well get a upgrade one....

any help mucho appreciated!

Thanks for the heads up, even though i have already looked at your FS post. couple of differences(dont know for sure if it makes a diff) like, mine is manual and yours is auto, mine is coupe and yours is sedan, dont know how many miles put into it, etc. Seeing as how pricey they are if i dont find any new at price then i will def. consider yours! or any used for that matter.

Mine is AT so it has a built in tranny cooler, but other than that no difference. It would be a direct swap on your car.

EBAY Infiniti Radiator

So, is that too cheap of a radiator or is it really worth OEM anything?
